Sunderland boss O’Neill’s Kebe heartache

MARTIN O’Neill admitted he was thinking in terms of Sunderland taking all three points in the dying minutes of yesterday’s game against Reading when, to his horror, he realised his team were likely to take none, writes Graeme Anderson.

The Black Cats had mounted a late surge to win the game, inspired by the arrival of late substitute Danny Graham, only to be made to suffer by Jimmy Kebe’s second goal of the match in the 85th minute.
